El-Sayed and Rogers toss insults in Michigan Senate debate
In Thursday's Michigan Senate debate, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers sparred over the Iran war and cost-of-living issues — and flung insults across the stage in nearly every exchange.

What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on a hostile first Michigan Senate debate between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, with personal attacks, insults and clashes over Iran, tariffs or affordability featured prominently. NBC News and Fox News foreground the issue mix a bit differently, with NBC highlighting gas prices, the war in Iran and tariffs, while Fox emphasizes Israel, Iran and personal attacks. Politico is the outlier among the group in leading with Rogers’s trade-war-with-Canada comments rather than the debate itself, and the Washington Post and The Hill frame it as a particularly fierce or off-the-rails exchange.
